A nose job and my lips done, and he made me feel like my entire face - was messed up. I left in tears because i thought i am so hideous. Oh, this looks damn interesting here. Well, no, yes, yes! This is interesting.

This is an interesting topic. I went in there with natural beauty. This is cosmic surgery, just wanting a nose job and my lips done, and he made me feel like my entire face - was messed up. I left in tears because i thought i am so hideous right.

I have against natural beauty and convicts history together to spark a dialogue about the difference in spanish guys. This is actually interesting. Three point: five years in the jungle, pogba gets qcl. My name is shanna.

I do anti-aging research and consulting. My name is tanisha aka vitiligo, queen um. I do a lot of advocacy for vitiligo awareness, hi, i'm rena and i'm an actress. My name is carly, i'm a healthy lifestyle coach.

My name is sagar patel and i'm a facial plastic surgeon in beverly hills. My name is nicola lowry, i am a physician assistant, practicing, aesthetic medicine i've been practicing for fourteen years and i'm a man just kind of bugged enough for allergan the makers of botox and fillers. Can i please have my natural beauty folks on the left and my genetic surgery group cha. I think i think it's gon na work out when they, when they kind of they're gon na they're gon na smile right, and you can see that the lips don't move.

But you see the muscle, pull like you see it when they, when they do it, did they go like that, but the muscle here you can see them pull, but the lips go like this. So, like hey, look jesus chris on the right, the cosmetic surgery industry exploits people's insecurities, expect to not wipe please wipe xq cow exploit. I don't think the industry as a whole. Does it's money right.

So i think there are there's motivation behind women not feeling good about themselves. Okay, guys, this is stuff, i guess you could use in this context. I feel like you could use the word exploit in every way. You can.

I think it's it's it's a little bit of a of a business whatever you use. The word exploit, though, and i do think there are certain companies and individuals who would expect if it's a solution and they wanted their problem, make sense not exploiting it, though some places where it works. They tell you like bring out those insecurities because i want them to buy these products. Okay, okay, i mean like okay, then then hospital hospital's than it okay they're they exploit people's uh health needs like get a training.

They tell you right and i'm not gon na. Do that to someone? That's like! Oh well, you have this this and this wrong. Maybe you want to fix it, i'm not going to do that to somebody and create an insecurity in them that maybe they knew they had and not playing on it, or maybe they didn't know, but now they do definitely. I was only 18.

when i called for my console. I said i would like to have a consult for a rhinoplasty and lip injections, and he gave me that i needed cheek implants. I needed to have my brow line shaved down because changing my nose would change the entire shape of my face and i felt very much so like he just saw me as money. Okay, there's good doctors and bad doctors and in the end the important thing to realize is that doctors are trying to do good for other people, there's exceptions.

But it's a professional society where our goal is to help other people, and you know initially going in to the cosmetic world, especially um. It's a multi-billion dollar industry. As a doctor, you're always taught a couple of laurels from benevolence to do no harm. The insecurity is inherent in all of us.

Some of us have more, some of us have less, but it was already there and you know, does the cosmetic industry capitalize on our insecurities sure? I think that there is a piece of that, but as all industries they're just trying to market to the people that are going to utilize their product, i wish i could change something about my appearance, guys, um. The thing wasn't bad just because i just couldn't help but uh it's just my. I want to change something about myself, doesn't necessarily mean that i don't accept myself. Those are the thoughts that prompt me to work on acceptance of myself, something that i come across.

A lot it is a chat that whenever you have a bunch of a bunch of injections and a bunch of a bunch of things right right and whenever you move one muscle only, i feel like only that muscle move. It's like it's like, like the whole thing, is stuck in in time you're, just like not so much that someone wants to change the way that they look, but they want to preserve it. There's a lot of issues, especially with women, with the aging process. It's not so much that they want to be somebody else, or they want to look like somebody else, but they want to stay looking like them.

I fully intend to do a facelift when the time is right and not because i want to look different, but because i want to continue to look as young as i feel yeah. I think for me, a major decision for me to get cosmetic surgery was that i was in my early 20s and i had had a massive weight loss. I i naturally lost the weight um, i lost 175 pounds and my skin looked like a 90 year old. So for me, i consider it more like reconstructive and um kind of getting back to where i was supposed to be.

I think i feel like that's a that's like a different thing, though guys you know it's cosmetic, though it also has uh uh mechanical applications. If you're, if your skin is going crazy, because that's why you don't know it it's different before i did that by nature damage to myself for me um, i spent my entire childhood into my early adult life. Wishing i looked different, i promised myself that i would never ever tell myself. I wish i had this.

I wish i looked like this because i found that triggered things for me that brought back places that i used to be with my eating disorder. I think that's great, and i hope you don't take offense to this, but you're gorgeous right, yeah and i feel like if i was if i was naturally that, like beautiful it wouldn't be that hard to like be like. Oh my god, my face is gorgeous. You know i'm going to accept myself.

There are people who have facial, deformities and and body deformities like. I think this has been this interesting people, because people have insecurities about some of the stuff that they have right and it's like. Oh, you look, you look beautiful, but that person probably feel the same way about other people. It's like it's like a vicious circle.

You don't really know what i consider what i went through. It's a little harder yeah. Oh definitely! Yes, they don't like their their ears and knows whatever i was always largest of all my friends, the largest of my family, five years of my life. I spent constantly constantly waking up in the morning and picking apart every single part of my body.

I can't continue this constant. I personally just don't like you guys, especially because that's just like nose and ears, just like oh dude, look at, i have a face. That's like can i send it to other people whatever right and then i'll have like a different? I have my own nose. Why would i want your nose? I don't want your nose.

I want my own nose. Who else has my nose? Nobody, so why would i make some guy pay money to make my loads look like somebody else ass? What would i pay money for me to look like somebody else? I would like myself bro. I would look like myself terrible habit of bulimia or i'm going to die, so it was just. I was horribly bulimic for a year and a half like it was awful yeah, so i got it yeah yeah, it's not easy.

Cosmetic surgery can empower you, oh yeah, for sure i mean everybody's gon na. Do that. I do wish that every woman could wake up and look in the mirror and be like i am so beautiful just the way i am, but i also think that if you can do something to give yourself that feeling, then that's not everybody. That is a beautiful thing, so one of the questions we actually asked on our question is: what are your motivations for surgery and someone who says i can't get a boyfriend.

You know i'm getting bad grades because i have this particular look: they're a bad candidate for surgery - and you know that's part of medical school training. That's part of becoming a surgeon is understanding what these triggers are. What are the signs that tell you as a surgeon? This is not going to be good, because it's about how you feel that you guys you guys, if you have, if you don't like your wrinkles, whatever in your old okay, it can empower. You, like you, feel younger and more revitalized.

If you have less wrinkles on your ear on your eyes, it can. It is what it is. Is it that great you know? That's part of medical school training, that's particular look and someone who says i can't get a boyfriend. You know i'm getting bad grades because i have this particular look: they're a bad candidate for surgery, bad grades, because it looks part of medical school training.

That's part of becoming a surgeon is understanding what these triggers are. What are the signs that tell you as a surgeon? This is not going to be someone who's going to be happy afterwards, whether or not you are inherently truly happy or not. I think that's hugely important, but what, if you're a happy person, but you hate your nose or what, if you're a very happy person and you were born with a cleft palate and you want to be able to project your image to the world. That's congruent with how you feel on the inside and and maybe you're experiencing negativity because of right.

The way you were born naturally guys every day i i can't help but feel that there's so many facets of things, there's so many things that be to be happy about. I feel like i i i i it's just from my personal life. I'm not gon na say that i think it's gon na be important, but for me a particular one comes essentially from why i'm happy about a billion things. I can't go like.

Oh my god. Now i'm not happy because i looked at my nose. I don't know someone who was so unempowered by her experiences. This girl, she was 23 at the time.

Um was beat by her father when she was younger and sustained significant trauma to her nose and helping her and fixing her nose and the gratitude she showed and realizing that you didn't help her for that day. You didn't help her for that week for the rest of her life that she can start moving on and that empowerment is one of the perfect example of what cosmetic surgery, and that truly was that it was just a cosmetic surgery. That's that was so. She could breathe.

That was a a one. Take that wasn't this. She could move around better. It was to make her look a certain way, so she doesn't have to remember that experience.

There is too much pressure on women to look a certain way. You say that's reconstructive, but if, but if the damage wasn't that crazy and there's no obstructive breathing or whatever okay, the government will still classify it as a cosmetic. Therefore, you're not going to get like names and go private for it. That's how it is.

We live in a insta life now, with you know, we have dating apps where you can swipe hundreds of people a day, and you know you can go online and post a there's, a pressure woman looking away, there's a pressure for everybody like certain ways: man, it's Whatever it's up to you, if you're gon na keep giving it hundreds of likes - and you feel like there's so much pressure to look and be a certain way like you can never fall. If you just kind of look at the way that things have changed around pregnancy, a lot of women now want to go and have a baby with a beat face. Like everything is perfect, it's about the perfect picture. I have to have my makeup and my brows.

Now i understand some things you just want to be perfect, i get it i want to. I want to be able to just embrace the moments with my child and not worry about all this makeup. I have on right now. I think we've been kind of comparing you know say the 25 year old to the 25 year old.

But then, let's think about the women that are middle aged and are having to keep up with the younger girls to try and still feel attractive. And you don't have to keep up with anything though dude, it's always young. You can't keep up. It's just imagine if you oh my idea, yeah i got to keep up with the i did it.

That's how it works, though. That's just how life is relevant, and i do see that a lot even with my clientele. I have women that are married to very wealthy men and that their greatest fear is that they will end up becoming the second wife, because the new and improved wife is on her way in and she's on her way out. So this pressure to maintain youth and beauty and relevance is so how about you date, faithful men and being strong relationships that aren't fully based on on your revitalized.

Young looks so that you can have a stable life that you're not going to get cheated on when you look like a fossil, it's that man is a jerk right and it's like it's not it's not if you think you're going to get replaced when you get Older because you're going to look ugly break up now, what the the, how am i brain dead? It's really break up. Now that always happened. You are blessed. You are lucky to know for a fact that the person will will chief, you look uglier later on.

Did you know now leave now, while you still can, but what the joneses and i always wanted to just like, i have to listen. Some people don't know until it happens, love me i might have to. I have to make myself be who he loves to take it. It's a lot of pressure.

Oh i get it. I get it. I am beautiful. Oh that's, whole summer.

Okay, so i'ma go first because i woke up this morning and i really loved myself with me. Having vitiligo it took a long time when i first was diagnosed at five. No one knew what it was. Everyone thought michael jackson made it up like it's a real thing.

No one knew that it was real. So a lot of people i like about the rest of this people's first time encountering what it actually looked like in person was me. It took a long time for me to get to this point to where i'm just like who i love today, i'm teaching tonight you.
